1. The line is charged to an account set up as an Asset account.

2. The account is set up for an existing Asset Category as either the Asset Clearing Account or the CIP Clearing Account.

3. The Track as Asset checkbox is checked. (It is automatically checked if the account is an Asset account).

4. The invoice is approved.

5. The invoice line distribution is posted to Oracle General Ledger from Payables.

The General Ledger date on the invoice line distribution is on or before the date you specify for the Mass additions create (FAMACR) program.

Steps to perform FA Addition from Payables

The Create Mass Additions for Oracle Assets process sends valid invoice line distributions and associated discounts from Payables to an Interface table (FA_MASS_ADDITIONS) in Oracle Assets. Then the lines can be reviewed to determine whether to create assets from those lines.

When Mass Addition Lines move from AP to FA, in R12, the tax and VAT lines are automatically merged with the parent item line. Hence, lines from AP come in pairs in FA – A parent line along with an associated child line (VAT, tax etc).

If requirement is to disable this auto merge then refer following support note for additional patch that’s needed to be applied.

How to Disable the ‘Auto-Merge’ Feature for Create Mass Additions in R12.1? (Doc ID 1540186.1)

Hi. Will there be a problem if in case I skipped one period running the “Create Mass Addition”? Let’s say I skipped January period and the run it in February. Will it also get invoices posted in January? Thanks.

Your payable periods is different from your fixed assets period, in payables your invoices should be posted to gl before you interface assets to fixed assets. In your example you should be able to interface Payables Jan and Feb invoices to Assets Jan period if it is open.

Thanks for your reply. Not sure if I get it right. You are saying that I can capture Jan and Feb payable postings to Asset Jan period. But how about in February period? If in case January for both AP and FA are already closed and all are posted in GL but the only exception is I didn’t run the “Create Mas Addition” in January. Will it be okay if I run it in February period? Will there be no error in the system? Will it only capture the February postings from AP or both January and February?
